On November 1st, 2009 four hundred and eighty-four men shaved their faces clean and devoted themselves to growing beards for the duration of one hundred and twenty days. At the end of this journey, three hundred and fourty-three men stood standing; proudly embracing the growth upon their faces.

New lifelong friendships were established. Old ones were solidified beyond quantifiable measure.
